SIX

SIX operates the financial market infrastructure of Switzerland and Spain, including SIX Swiss Exchange, BME, and Swiss interbank clearing and securities services, alongside SIX Financial Information, one of the largest global market data vendors. It sells real-time, intraday, end-of-day, and historical pricing, reference data, corporate actions, and regulatory/ESG datasets from more than 900 price sources, delivered via the SIX Web API (REST/JSON, GraphQL, WebSocket), the SIX Bulk API, streaming Market Data Feed, SIX Flex and Valordata Feed files, and Snowflake cloud shares. A public developer portal at developer.six-group.com fronts the bLink open banking platform, the debiX debit card API, and a shared Kong-based API catalog with Swiss interbank clearing and settlement APIs. Financial data access is enterprise and sales-gated with MTLS certificate authentication, while several Swiss payment infrastructure APIs are publicly documented with downloadable OpenAPI.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles SIX the way a machine reads it — 14 machine-readable artifacts across 9 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — SIX scores 55.2/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 64/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile SIX

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for SIX. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 9

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
